A minimum of 96 MB of CPU memory is required to run the software.

Note that the OS and LineTest use 43 MB in total, so on a platform with 128 MB of RAM, the remaining 85 MB will enable LineTest to load up to 12,000 frames for a total duration of about 8 minutes of animation.

The values above refer to a scene rendered using two greytones with dither, Pal (analogue) resolution (768 pixels X 576 lines) and to a drawing of medium complexity whose size in Kilobytes might be slightly different (higher or lower) according to the drawing itself.

The formula to compute the maximum length of the animation you can load in memory is the following:

• minutes of animation = 0.66 * (MB of RAM -30)/(size in Kbytes of a single image)

Memory requirements for a single image composed using one level of medium complexity:

• 2 Greytones (with dither): 7 Kbytes
• 4 Greytones: 10 Kbytes
• 16 Greytones: 16.5 Kbytes

Memory requirements for a single image composed using two levels of medium complexity:

• 2 Greytones (with dither): 11 Kbytes
• 4 Greytones: 16 Kbytes
• 16 Greytones: 28 Kbytes

Memory requirements for a single image composed using two levels of medium complexity and a background image (a full color picture with plentyof details)

• 2 Greytones (with dither): 40 Kbytes
• 4 Greytones: 60 Kbytes
• 16 Greytones: 100 Kbytes
